Hi
Given the non-homogenous higher order differential equation
[tex]u'' - 2 u' - 8 u = 6 - 8t[/tex]
with the intial conditions u(1) = 0 and u'(1) = 1.
Find the solution.
I'm told by my professor that I'm supposed to use the fact
[tex]{u''} + {a_1} u' + {a_0} u = f [/tex]
The characteristic polynomial for this differential equation is supposedly
[tex]z^2 + {a_1} z + {a_0} z = 0[/tex]
Using this fact I find root of the polynomial of the differential equation above to be [tex]\lambda _{1,2} = 4,-2[/tex]
The I'm suppose to use the fact that (Existence and Uniqueness theorem of Non-liniear differential equations) if [tex]\lambda {_1} \neq \lambda {_2}[/tex]
[tex]u_0 (t) : = \int \limit_{t_0} ^t \frac{e^{\lambda_1 (t-s)} - e^{\lambda_2 (t-s)}}{\lambda_1 - \lambda_2} f(s) ds[/tex]
[tex]t \in I[/tex]
My solution.
Since lambda 1 and lambda 2 er different then there exist a unique partiqular solution in the form:
[tex]u(t) = C_1 e^{6-8t} + C_2 e^{-8} = 0[/tex]
By inserting part 1 of the condition into the above, I get that C_1 = C_2 = 0.
initial condition 1 = true.
I differentiate u(t) and get [tex]u'(t) = -8 e^{-2} C_1 = 1[/tex]
here I get that [tex]C_1 = \frac{1}{-8{e^{-2}}} = \frac{-e^2}{8}[/tex] and this proves that u'(1) = 1
Am I on the right track here now?
